Highlight of our cruise to the Mediterranean!
This was the absolute highlight of our trip! Marisa and Fulvio were amazing! They guided us through Savoca, Castlemola and Taormina and we loved every single second. They made us feel like family and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone coming to Catania. There were things we wanted to see and do, Marisa made it all happen! Marisa is an excellent tour guide and Fulvio is an expert driver. Book with this company and you will not be disappointed!

Sonia, my Sicilian tour guide

Special Tour: Etna, Savoca and Taormina With Luxury Van

Sonia, my Sicilian tour guide
Sonia was SO accommodating, my husband wasn't feeling well so I went by myself. She was so understanding. And knew so much about Sicily and the area we were in. We went to Mt Etna and the surrounding area. Her husband was the driver and a skilled one at that. I had one of the best " rice cones" of all time. Filled with Rice, meat sauce and Mozzarella cheese. She even stopped at the pharmacy to get something for my husband. YOU were awesome Sonia and so was your husband. And she speaks perfect English! What a TREAT!Thanks for giving me a tour that I will never forget. 😁😁👍

Excellent Messina & Taormina Tour with Great Communication!

Messina Private excursion Taormina and Castelmola

Excellent Messina & Taormina Tour with Great Communication!
The communication from this tour company was top-notch right from booking, including a WhatsApp message the day before and direct contact from our driver the morning of with his live location for a seamless port pickup in Messina.We customized our itinerary to start in Taormina, making a fantastic preliminary stop in Castelmola for a church visit, local sight-seeing, and incredible cannolis and liquor. Our driver then dropped us off on the main street in Taormina. It’s worth noting for future travelers that this portion of the tour is free exploration time on your own (about 2 hours) rather than a walking tour with the driver. While we initially expected a guided walk based on the "private tour" label, it actually worked out wonderfully—giving our family group nice, uninterrupted time to shop, wander, and grab a bite.Due to the weather, we couldn't get a clear view of Mt. Etna, though we would have loved if the itinerary had included going a bit closer to make Etna more of a central focus. That said, our driver's lunch recommendation was spot-on, and on the way back to Messina, he took us to several great sightseeing spots and an amazing dessert place.Our driver was personable, fun, awesome to spend the day with, and made our time in Sicily unforgettable. Overall, it's a fantastic, high-value option to maximize a short port stay—just go in knowing what to expect for free time vs. guided time!

Excursion Worth the Price
Pari our tour guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. We all genuinely felt she loved what she was doing and that made the experience even better.The transport s was also on another level. Felt like a business class coach and they were able to accommodate multiple car seats for our kids.

Thank you for a terrific day in Messina!
We had a terrific day with Alessandro and Marisa. They collected us from the port in Messina without hassle and took us to visit Savoca and Taormina. Marisa shared her knowledge and stories with us along the way and gave us a fantastic recommendation for lunch. Alessandro kindly paid for sweets and entry fees for us. I would highly recommend their services for a personalised and enjoyable experience!

An unforgettable Etna experience with an exceptional guide!
The Lady Etna tour was a fantastic way to experience both the natural beauty and history of Mount Etna, combined with a wonderful visit to the local Gambino Winery.Alex was one of the best guides we’ve ever come across. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Etna really brought the experience to life, and he made the tour both informative and engaging.The food and wine tasting at Gambino Winery was another highlight — fantastic local food, excellent wines, and a lovely atmosphere. The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed.Everything was extremely well organised, including a punctual pick-up and plenty of interesting information throughout the day.Highly recommended — a perfect combination of Etna, history, food, wine, and an outstanding guide!
